Recent advances in the customization of nanofluids to obtain specific thermophysical
properties have led to an increase in the need for a better understanding of the various …

Nanofluids are dispersions of nanomaterials (eg nanoparticles, nanofibers, nanotubes,
nanowires, nanorods, nanosheet, or droplets) in base fluids. Nanofluids have been a topic of …

In many applications, there is a critical need for enhancing the poor thermal conductivity of
conventional fluids in order to develop efficient heat transfer fluids. This requirement can be …

This third edition offers a comprehensive overview of the latest theories on flow, transport,
and heat-exchange processes in porous media. It also details sophisticated porous media …

Abstract Nanofluids, ie, well-dispersed (metallic) nanoparticles at low-volume fractions in
liquids, may enhance the mixture's thermal conductivity, k nf, over the base-fluid values …

Colloidal suspensions of fine nanomaterials in the size range of 1–100nm in carrier fluids
are known as nanofluids. For the last one decade, nanofluids have been a topic of intense …

Over the last decade nanofluids (colloidal suspensions of solid nanoparticles) sparked
excitement as well as controversy. In particular, a number of researches reported dramatic …

In the 1990s, nanoparticles and quantum dots began to be used in optical, electronic, and
biological applications. Now they are being studied for use in solid-state quantum …

Applications of solar thermal systems especially for heating are quiet reliable. At present the
domestic use of such technologies especially for hot water and space heating applications is …

The three-dimensional flow of non-Newtonian fluid over slendering stretching sheet is taken
into account. The effects of a radiative and chemical reaction using the heat source/sink non …
